Derek Gerard's Company Details

At Eckler, we are driven every day by our purpose to care and to do right by people so that together we can achieve a brighter, more secure future. That purpose is woven into the fabric of the organization and is just one of the reasons that Eckler has been recognized, more than once, as one of Canada's Most Admired Corporate Cultures by Waterstone Human Capital. The most recent award came in 2021. Our origins go back to 1927, making Eckler Ltd one of Canada's first actuarial practices. Owned and operated by our active principals, we are a mid-sized company with offices located in major centres across Canada and the Caribbean. Our corporate structure has changed since the firm was founded, but the continuity of our practice has remained unbroken. In fact, one of our more distinguishing features is the low turnover among our professional staff. For our clients, this translates into a continuity of service that is increasingly rare, ensuring a close and lasting relationship that combines personal involvement with a high standard of expertise. Over the years, we have evolved from a strictly actuarial practice to a fully integrated consulting practice spanning the full range of actuarial and related services, including Financial Services, Pensions and Benefits, Investment, Communications, and Technology consulting. As an independently owned and operated business, our advice is impartial and our clients' needs always come first. Our mission is simple: to consistently render informed, expert and timely advice and be recognized as the best in terms of service excellence, value and innovation.
